โœฆ Synopsis

An innovative shunt design for the treatment of hydrocephalus is discussed. It is based on a two-tube configuration which restores accumulator function to suppress intracranial pressure fluctuations emanating from the brain and resulting from changes in the subject's postural position. Current shunt problems of overdrainage, occlusion, and infection are addressed and corrections inherent in the proposed design are described. Specific materials and characteristics for the construction of the proposed design are suggested.

In view of complications arising from physical properties of cerebrospinal fluid shunts, a biomechanical model of hydrocephalus was set up to study in vivo parameters that may influence their function. These include: intracranial pressure, compliance and pulses, intrathoracic, intra-abdominal, and s

A radionuclide technique was developed to obtain reproducible measurements of cerebrospinal fluid flow in Rickham-Holter type shunt systems. In attempting to reproduce previously described radionuclide procedures, we found that different flow rate measurements can be obtained simply by changing the

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of perioperative rifampin-trimethoprim was undertaken at the Hospital for Sick Children from March 1984 to October 1987, in which 243 patients undergoing 300 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting procedures were randomized into groups including treat
